Nissan Pivo 2 – The Advanced Cartoon-Like Electric Concept Car
The Nissan Pivo 2 electric concept car is an advanced version of the first Pivo that was shown at Tokyo Motor show in 2005. Pivo 2 is powered by advanced Compact Lithium-ion Batteries and employs ‘by-wire’ technologies for braking and steering. It has a unique rotating cabin. In other words, Pivo 2 doesn’t require any reverse gear at all.
Pivo 2 is also an environment-friendly electric concept car which delivers fun and functionality. The conceptual design of Pivo 2 uses revolutionary technology with 360 degree turning cabin and 90 degree turning wheels.
Nissan’s advanced electric In-wheel 3D Motor is used to power each of the four wheels of Pivo 2. It can turn through 90 degrees to allow Pivo 2 to drive sideways as well as forward.
The petrol price is so high these days, I guess more and more motor car companies might be venturing into the electric car business to cater to the future demand. Commuters like us will have more options to choose from provided the price of the electric car is not sky high.
